It's been several months and I am still not on any biologic medication. The work up, however, has been consistent. For instance, I've been ordered to do countless labs, bone scans, xrays and still no progress or even medication that will control the flares. My RA has made me feel the most miserable I have ever felt in a very long time. Here at Dr. Reddy's office, it's been nothing but a long wait and then the front office is extremely disorganized. I have worked in the medical field for years, so I can say that the office is legitimately disorganized and unprofessional. The past few visits have seemed as though Dr. Reddy is just getting to know me and although I have expressed my frustration to the her and her office staff, nothing ever changes. I am finally making the change by coming onto this site and researching other RA providers. I should have done this sooner.
